1
- Let's talk about music.
2
How often do you listen to music?
3
- I think I listen to music mostly when I'm driving.
4
I think it puts me in such a good mood
5
when I'm like out there on a drive and I play my favorite music.
6
I'm usually into Afro music a lot, hip hop and Afro and R &B.
7
So I prefer listening to music when I'm driving or sometimes when I'm working out, I'm at the gym, something like that.
8
- Is music an important subject?
9
in schools in your country in schools in my country.
10
It is because you know I'm from India so in India music
11
and dance and expressing our emotions is usually through music
12
and dancing so in every school they teach classical music or they have a subject where there is something about music usually.
13
So I think it is important.
14
Do you ever go to live concerts?
15
Oh, I've been to three concerts and three of them are my favorite artists.
16
And it was actually on my wish list and I made it happen.
17
And it was one of the best experiences.
18
And in live concerts, it's a lot different than you would imagine.
19
Just have to keep your energy.
20
straight and it's like you can't believe it's happening.
21
Now let's talk about magazines and newspapers.
22
Do you prefer to read magazines or newspapers?
23
Definitely magazines, mostly on topics of fashion or interior design.
24
This is what I really like because I like to see creative sides from all over the world.
25
I like to see what people are talking about, what's new and what's trending of like,
26
what is this called what is that called because usually
27
when you see pictures you don't usually know what it's called
28
so when you read a magazine
29
or you get the knowledge that's that's where you get to know oh this fabric is called this
30
or this uh decoration is called that so i think it's very good on information.
31
- Do you think you can learn as much from a magazine as a book?
32
- Definitely not, 'cause magazine is like a shorter version of what's in a book.
33
So I definitely prefer books over magazines.
34
- Do you think that you will continue to read paper -based magazines in the future?
35
I think I'm very old -fashioned like that.
36
I need to have a physical book in my hand and that's how I think it produces serotonin in my brain.
37
Otherwise, no. Digital, it's very different.
38
I like physically reading a magazine or a book.
39
Now let's talk about outdoor activities.
40
Do you like being outdoors?
41
I love being outdoors.
42
I must stay outdoors.
43
I'm not a very like home based person.
44
Like I can't stay home much.
45
I have to keep moving all the time.
46
Which outdoor sports do you enjoy doing?
47
- I like going out with my friends and playing football or some kind of activity like swimming.
48
going to the beach.
49
This is something I really, really enjoy.
50
Which outdoor activities are most popular in your country?
51
Definitely.
52
It's like the game of India.
53
Everybody loves cricket.
54
When you go out of your house, you're always going to see like some kids playing basketball.
55
or also badminton actually.
56
People enjoy that a lot as well.
57
I'd like to describe my favorite actor and actress.
58
So my favorite actor will be Benedict Cumberbatch and my favorite actress is Angelina Jolie and I like their movies so much.
59
They usually star in action films or mystery films and that's very similar to where I am like in my personal life.
60
I love mysterious stuff.
61
I'm like always into like detective theories or mystery books and stuff like that.
62
So I always watch movies as such and their acting is on point, it's always number one.
63
And I like Angelina Jolie also for her humanitarian work that she does throughout her life.
64
She's been very present with charity work and making sure that
65
a lot of kids are fed in countries which are unfortunate
66
and I really like that about her
67
and I also like how fierce she is and
68
when she presents herself it's very divine feminine so I really really like
69
that and I feel like she has that sort of energy where
70
a woman can feel powerful about herself just by looking at her and kind of understanding where she comes from.
71
She doesn't really come from a very mentally stable place, but now at this point in her life, she's a very like strong woman and she's done it all herself.
72
And Benedict Cumberbatch, I actually watched his TV show, which was called Sherlock, and I am a crazy Sherlock fan.
73
I love mystery, like I said.
74
And detective stories and everything.
75
And him playing that really showed me what kind of an incredible actor he is, because I felt like I'm watching Sherlock Holmes from the books and not an actor on screen.
76
And he's also done a movie that I really love,
77
it's called Doctor Strange, that's my favorite superhero from the Avengers and he has just done an amazing job in that movie.
78
So we've been talking about a famous actress and actor
79
that you enjoy and we're going to continue to talk about movies and theater.
80
What are the most popular types of movies in your country?
81
It would be...
82
To thank you for watching this video I want to give you a free course
83
that has helped thousands of students improve their IELTS speaking score.
84
What for part one, part two and part three,
85

86
To sign up for that for free, all you have to do is just click the link in the description.
87
Thanks very much.
88
And let's get back to the video.
89
It would be action.
90
and drama definitely something that has to do with emotional connection it's usually fictional,
91
that I would say. and also comedy.
92
Yeah, there's a lot of comedy that goes on in the films that are coming out now from India.
93
Do you think that going to the cinema will be as popular in the future?
94
I think 50 -50.
95
I'm not sure about that, but it looks like people enjoy watching movies at home.
96
And it's not as much exciting as it used to be back then. And...
97
I think probably yes, it would be more digitally available at home and probably, yeah.
98
Now let's talk about the theatre.
99
How strong a tradition is it today in your country to go to the theater?
100
Mostly, I think, in out -of -city areas, actually.
101
It's mostly now as an activity that families go to with their kids,
102
just to show a play to their kids and to introduce them to this form of...
103
culture and activity.
104
I think it's more of that now.
105
Theatres are not as much popularised back in India, as much as cinema and film and movies are.
106
So I think that is kind of on the back seat.
107
It's not so much as it used to be.
108
Do you think that theatres should be run as a business or as a public service?
109
I think both.
110
I think it goes hand in hand.
111
so that people can be employed as well at the same time.
112
And, um, it, it is of a public service at the same time.
113
I think, um, I think that people do enjoy it, but at the same time,
114
it could be used as an as an excuse and used as like,
115
um, an opportunity is what I mean, to employ people.
116
And because there's a lot of people who would love to do acting, but they can't really make it in the movies.
117
So maybe they could use theater as as their hobby.
118
So I think, yeah, both can go hand in hand.
119
In some countries, governments pay theatres to put on shows for the public.
120
Do you think this is a good use of public money?
121
It depends on
122
if whether or not if it's free to the public because
123
if you're charging for them to see that play then it doesn't make any sense.
124
is what I think.
125
And I think that
126
it shouldn't be this way in the first place i think it should be available freely to the people
127
- Let me give you some feedback on your performance.
128
So you're hoping to get a band nine.
129
I'll go through the four marking criteria.
130
So pronunciation, fluency and coherence, grammar and vocabulary.
131
So let's start off with your pronunciation.
132
To thank you for making it this far in the video, I want to give you 10 % off our VIP course.

140

141
If not, enjoy the rest of this free video.
142
- Pronunciation is one of your strong points.
143
- Oh, okay.
144
- The examiner will be thinking, can I understand what this person is saying?
145
How clear are they?
146
And then some higher level pronunciation features like intonation, for example.
147
percent of what you're saying.
148
You do have a hint of an accent but it is extremely clear listening to you.
149
For anyone watching who has an Indian accent they shouldn't feel bad about it or anything like that.
150
You shouldn't try and remove your accent.
151
I think it's about speaking as clearly as possible but you certainly do.
152
You also use intonation extremely well.
153
So we use intonation to convey meaning.
154
For example when you came in here today and I said please sit down.
155
Very flat intonation going down.
156
Do I sound happy or rude or serious?
157
A bit rude.
158
Yeah, a bit rude, a bit serious.
159
But if I said, please sit down, my intonation is going up.
160
It sounds completely different, but the words are exactly the same.
161
So you use intonation like that a lot to show that you're excited about something, that you're happy about it, that you're serious about something in a very,
162
very high level way, which is very difficult to learn.
163
And you do it very naturally.
164
You also use connected speech.
165
if you were talking about movies someone learning English might say do you want to go to the cinema
166
but someone at a high level like yourself do you want
167
to go want to go sounds like one word want to go
168
because you're connecting all the speech up you do that a lot
169
and very naturally you also use um sentence stress which where you emphasize certain words that's your coffee so you're
170
It's very difficult to teach that.
171
It takes a long time to learn.
172
Wow.
173
You're doing very well in that area.
174
"are you able to speak without unnatural pauses,
175
"without unnatural hesitation?" And there's two reasons why people pause and that type of thing,
176
audible pauses like that.
177
One reason is, They're learning a language and they're trying to think, "Should I use present simple or present perfect?" Or,
178
you know, "What's the correct adjective to use?" You don't do that because your language is at quite a high level.
179
You do sometimes...
180
pause and think and hesitate a little bit for the second reason, which is trying to think of ideas.
181
So you can tell, especially in part three, you were formulating ideas and you were let me think about that and pausing a little bit, but that's natural.
182
And a good examiner knows the difference between those two things.
183
So they're not going to give you a low mark for pausing or hesitating a little bit.
184
for thinking of the idea.
185
Now coherence is different, it's did you answer the question and did you develop your answers a little bit more.
186
You need to be a little bit careful, for example the first question I asked you, how often do you listen to music?
187
And you told me about when you listen to music.
188
So that's slightly different.
189
Now the examiner will base their score on all of your answers.
190
It's not like, "Oh, she didn't, she slightly didn't answer that question in one, in one question.
191
Give her a low score." That's not how it works.
192
And the way that you answered that question by saying, "I listen to music in the car and I listen to it in the,
193
I think you said, when I drive." You're answering the question.
194
implicitly By implication, I know how often you listen to it.
195
You should try to answer each question explicitly.
196
How often do you?
197
Every day.
198
I don't think that this is an issue for you today, but imagine you go and do the test.
199
Imagine you have a Canadian visa application.
200
I was like, if I don't get this, I'm going to, I can't go and meet, you know, my family or, or, you know, or I can't do whatever I want to do.
201
there's a lot of pressure on you.
202
So often when people are under pressure and under stress, they mess up.
203
Just make sure that you answer every question exactly how they want it.
204
The same with the cue card for part two.
205
It said, describe your favorite actor or actress.
206
And you did both.
207
So technically, an examiner would be extremely picky.
208
if they marked you down for that.
209
But again, I'm not criticizing you, but I'm being overly cautious because on exam day, if you go and do the test,
210
you might go off and talk about something related to that topic, but not really answering it correctly.
211
I think you would be fine, but we just don't want to take any risks.
212
Definitely.
213
Towards the end, especially the last question, part three, what the examiner is thinking about is can this person really develop their answers?
214
Can they speak at length about topics?
215
The last question is quite a short answer for part three, but that was quite impressive.
216
I'll tell you why. in part three.
217
"You should be happy because the examiner thinks you're good.
218
"If the examiner thinks you're bad, "they'll just throw easy softball questions at you.
219
"If the examiner thinks that you're really good, "they'll throw more and more difficult questions
220
"to really just stretch you and test you." And that's what I was trying to do at the end.
221
A really good band eight, band nine student Even if they get a question that they don't know much about, they're not too sure about, they will attempt an answer.
222
So your attempt at an answer, even though it was quite short, indicates that you are at a very high level.
223
Coherence is the only area that I'm really, really concerned about.
224
But overall, it's very, very good.
225
I'm focusing on the negative, but it's only because you're...
226
You should, because otherwise how would I know?
227
Yeah.
228
Grammar, the examiner will be thinking, does this person have enough awareness of grammar structures that they can talk about anything?
229
Like, can they use comparatives to compare two things?
230
Can they use superlatives to talk about their favorite things and talk about the best things?
231
Whatever I throw at you, you're able to handle that.
232
And they'll also then think about how many grammar mistakes are you making? making.
233
I think I only heard one or two small slips, I think like a preposition slip or an article slip, but that is comparable to a native English speaker.
234
If you listen to native English speakers speak for 15 -20 minutes, they'll make little preposition errors or subject -verb agreement errors.
235
That's natural, so don't need to worry about that.
236
And your vocabulary is also excellent.
237
For example, this, you use very topic -specific words in idiomatic language, which is great, high level students actually do that
238
so your final band score would be the highest one
239
which is about 9 thank you so much yeah that's amazing
240
but but but I if on test day you didn't answer the questions in part one,
241
you didn't really answer the question in part two, and you didn't develop your answers enough in part three, that would drop you down a little bit.
242
Not hugely, but just be careful with that.
243
All right.
244
Less than one percent of people get a bad line.
245
Yeah.
246
So there you go.
247
- Well done.
248
- Thank you.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
